Performance and interview.
Well, you might recall, oh, about two years ago, that Montreal-based duo Sky (then comprised of James and Antoine) parted company (albeit on friendly terms)? Well, there's a new Sky in town since the departure of James, who we lost to lalaland. The new incarnation is Antoine and songstress Anastasia. And they'll be coming to Much for a performance and interview from their latest CD, TKTKTK, the follow-up to 1998's platinum-seller Piece of Paradise.
And don't forget to check out their brand new site skytheband.com for all the latest news with Sky and their new album!

The list that you sent me (the most recent one) is the correct list of
performers. Sky is no longer performing, I believe they have broke up.
